Nice overview, and I didn't see any glaring errors. I'll be keeping a link to this to pass along whenever anyone asks me what GAE is (and isn't). An interesting observation was that many apps spill into non-GAE infrastructure when they need some functionality that GAE doesn't offer. That's true of several of our apps: one of my apps interfaces with S3 heavily because I wrote it before BlobStore existed; another uses GAE only as a massively scalable front-end "lobby" and scheduler, for access to non-GAE servers (in a private data center, and in EC2 when the private data center fills up). Also, it was interesting to see the coverage of App Scale. I was familiar with AETyphoon, but not App Scale. Nice to know there are options if google makes some really bad decisions about their pricing model in the coming months. -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
